Solid State Logic SSL 2 MKII USB-C Audio Interface with Voiceover Kit

Whether its for narration, ad reads, or voice acting, this B&H Kit is a great setup to get your voice heard and features a Solid State Logic SSL 2 MKII bundled with a large-diaphragm condenser mic with pop filter, a vocal reflection panel, a pair of over-ear, closed-back studio monitoring headphones, an XLR mic cable, a USB-C to USB-A adapter, and a tripod mic stand with boom.

Two High-Gain SSL Mic Pre / Line-Level Inputs

The SSL 2 MKII is equipped with two high-performance SSL-designed microphone preamps delivering a massive 64 dB gain range and outstanding 116.5 dB dynamic range.

The design uses a mixture of specially chosen discrete, low-noise transistors in combination with ICs to deliver performance far beyond what’s usually associated with a portable bus-powered interface.

Both mic/line channels are equipped with independently switchable high-pass filters to clean up rumble, and for condenser microphones, switchable +48V phantom power, so you can record with a mixture of microphone types at the same time.

The two XLR-1/4" combo inputs double up as line-level inputs, designed to capture keyboards, synths, samplers, drum machines, or external audio processors like EQs and compressors. With a huge 117 dB dynamic range and +24 dBu maximum input level, SSL 2 MKII’s line inputs are compatible with all professional line-level equipment.

Two Hi-Z / Instruments Inputs

In addition to the XLR-1/4" combo mic/line inputs on the back panel, SSL 2 MKII features two dedicated 1/4" auto-detect instrument (DI) inputs located on the front panel.

Just like you find on a guitar amp, these Hi-Z inputs allow you to record guitar, bass, or anything with a high-impedance output.

SSL-designed DIs—as found on their larger desk-top mixers—deliver amazing weight, detail, and texture to your instrument recordings, making sure you have the best possible sound to process in your DAW.

2 Balanced Outputs

Located on the rear panel, the two 1/4" balanced outputs let you connect your studio monitors.

With professional-grade outputs, the SSL 2 MKII delivers 120 dB dynamic range, allowing you to hear every detail in your productions—from the most subtle riff to the deepest bass line.

Two Headphone Outputs, Zero-Latency Monitoring

The two headphone outputs (same mix) are conveniently located on the front panel. These reengineered outputs (featuring high-current NJM headphone amps) are capable of driving any type of headphones, from small in-ear monitors to large-diaphragm models.

Now boasting an impressive 119.5 dB dynamic range, SSL 2 MKII gives you all the performance and clarity needed for accurate monitoring in any environment.

The Mix control knob located on the front panel allows you to blend between the USB output (DAW) and live inputs, for zero-latency monitoring.

Legacy 4K Analog Enhancement

Underneath the gain knobs on both input channels, you'll note the Legacy 4K button. This feature helps you bring dull, uninspiring audio to life as you record it, doing so by adding subtle harmonic distortion and a high-frequency boost.

Both are analog processes that take their cue from the sound of the legendary and classic SSL 4000 Series consoles, hence the name 4K.

Next-Gen 32-Bit / 192 kHz

The SSL 2 MKII is built around Next-Gen 32-bit / 192 kHz converters. Compared to the previous generation, it delivers clearer, more detailed recordings, preserving every nuance of your performance.

Capture stunning acoustic performances, record drum machines and synths with more punch and texture. Make your live streams sound like professional broadcasts, and mix quicker and more easily as sounds are more defined.

Professional Studio Quality, Front to Back

SSL 2 MK II features high-quality Neutrik XLR and jack connectors, and ALPS pots.

There are updated switches on the front panel with 5-segment status LEDs, so you know exactly how your device is configured when recording.

Internally Shock-Mounted HF6 Cardioid Condenser Capsule

Behind the protective mesh grille, the mic features Rode's 1" gold-sputtered HF6 capsule, designed to provide a detailed midrange response with smooth highs and warm bass

The cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the source in front of the mic, picking up less unwanted ambient sound from the back and sides

The transducer itself is suspended inside the microphone, using Rycote's industry-leading Lyre system, minimizing external vibrations at the capsule level The capsule is then married to high-grade electronics that have been designed to provide an extremely low noise level. The NT1 Signature Series is an incredibly quiet microphone, measuring only 4 dBA of self-noise

The mic is powered by phantom power through the XLR connector

Bundled Accessories

The NT1 Signature Series is supplied with the SM6, a studio-grade suspension shockmount that provides isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone

The SM6 includes a removable pop shield with two axes of adjustment and a telescopic arm for ultimate application versatility

The mic also comes with a balanced 20' XLR microphone cable

A dust cover is also supplied

40mm Drivers

The ATH-M40x features 40mm dynamic drivers with rare earth (neodymium) magnets and CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) voice coils for high-quality sound reproduction.

Tuned for Flat, Accurate Response

The drivers and headphone design work together to provide a sonic signature tuned flat for accurate sound monitoring across the entire frequency range. With a frequency response of 15 Hz to 24 kHz, the ATH-M40x can reproduce a full spectrum of tones.

Over-Ear, Sound-Isolating Design

The ATH-M40x utilizes a circumaural design that contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments. This over-ear, closed-back style is optimal for reducing bleed and separating you from outside sounds.

90° Swiveling Earcups and Foldable Design

Equipped with 90° swiveling earcups, the ATH-M40x ensures a great fit and allows effortless one-ear monitoring, a welcome benefit for DJs and singers. The earcups fold up to meet the headband, saving space during storage. A carrying pouch is supplied for protection and convenience while transporting the headphones.

Two Detachable Single-Sided Cables

To expand its versatility, the ATH-M40x incorporates a detachable cable design that exits from the left side. This enables convenient cable swapping and makes it easier to distinguish the different sides of the headphone. Two cables are included—a 3.9 to 9.8' coiled cable and a 9.8' straight cable.

3.5mm Plug and 1/4" Screw-On Adapter

The attached cable is terminated with a gold-plated 3.5mm TRS mini plug for easy hookup to mobile devices, MP3 players, and computer headphone jacks. A secure 1/4" screw-on adapter is included for compatibility connectivity with audio interfaces, mixers, and dedicated headphone amplifiers. Built-in strain relief on the 3.5mm mini plug reduces the likelihood of damaging the connection if the cable is pulled.

Pro-Grade Build Quality

Thanks to the pro-grade earpad and headband materials used in the ATH-M40x, the headphones provide increased durability and comfort while delivering enhanced audio and effective isolation.

Auray MS-5230F Tripod Microphone Stand with Fixed Boom

Five-Panel Flexible Design

Five adjustable panels, each with a fold-down top panel enable you to configure the filter to meet your acoustic needs. Spread the panels to form a filter wall for miking speaker cabinets, or fold them to create a narrow, 300° enclosure for maximum isolation and dry, clean vocals.

The panels feature a stylish black finish with red accents.

Three-Layer Acoustic Isolation

The RF-5P-R filter offers three-layers of isolation that includes a high-density acoustic foam, a layer of acoustic fabric, and perforated screens.

The high-density acoustic foam absorbs acoustic reflections and minimizes room ambience.

The perforated screens diffuse sound as it passes through the shield, preventing sound reflections from bouncing off surfaces and back into the microphone.

Fold-Down Top Panels

The RF-5P-R is equipped with flip-down top panels that help minimize noise coming from above the microphone including overhead air ducts and fluorescent light fixtures.

Mic-Stand and Desktop Isolation

Built-in feet let you mount the RF-5P-R on a desktop for recording podcasts at home or in the office.

The 5/8"-27 thread enables you to mount the filter on a standard studio mic stand.

Adjustable Microphone Bracket

Whether you’re using a large-diaphragm studio condenser or a handheld dynamic mic, the sliding bracket lets you position your microphone inside the filter for the ideal isolation.
